GDP and RP Auditor
Our new two-day practical GDP and RP Auditor training course has been written from the ground up to specifically meet the audit responsibilities for busy Good Distribution Practice (GDP) professionals and Responsible Persons (RPs).
GDP professionals who attend our other courses regularly feedback to us that they have an obligation to conduct audits in the GDP Quality System, but they lack the know-how and experience to implement an effective audit programme, or indeed, know where to start in planning and conducting an audit. In addition, MHRA in the pre-amble to GDP Green Guide, state that auditor training is a recommended intervention for GDP professionals.
